Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Shura's Quest ❯ Scene 15 ( Chapter 15 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

* As soon as the three step into Demon World and see the shape of the Sentry Building they look at each other.


Shishi- (Quietly) I don't sense any life forces, Kurama.

Kurama- Let's still keep our guard up.


* Shishi and Suzuka nod. They all keep their eyes open as they make their way over to the ruined building. When a brisk breeze hits them full in the face they all voice the scent at the same time.


All Three- Blood.

Shishi- Demon blood, to be exact.

Kurama- Coming from inside... Let's go.


* Shishi and Suzuka hurry along behind Kurama who hurries cautiously into the building. Just inside they all stop again. Kurama shakes his head.


Kurama- This isn't the work of lower class demons altogether..

Shishi- You're right. I'm just not understanding what I'm reading in the energy, Ku.


* Kurama looks at Shishi. Suzuka motions.

Suzuka- Control room is that way.. This is the Post Touya and I served at.

* Before they can go any further they hear Kurama called for from outside. Kurama moves back to the doorway.


Kurama- In here, Kuwabara!


* Kuwabara and Touya hurry over.


Touya- This place is a mess...

Kuwabara- What's going on? Hiei would never let this happen.. He should already be seething at us...


* Kurama looks back at Kuwabara.


Kurama- Seething?

Kuwabara- I'm in college now. We use bigger words.

Shishi- Can we just get to the control room already?

Touya- This way.. This is where Suze and I..

Suzuka- I already told them that, Frosty.


* Touya takes the lead as they move down the hall toward the blasted doors that lead to the center of operations. The Ice Master forms his ice sword as they go. Kuwabara pauses and raises his hand.


Kuwabara- Spirit sword!


* Everyone pauses to look back at him as his energy sword whirs into existance.


Kuwabara- Sorry. The yell is the catalyst that...

Touya- D--- amatuers.


* Kuwabara scowls at Touya, but continues to follow them into the control room.


Touya- General Kirin?

Kuwabara- Hey, Hiei.. Where are you, man?


* When all they find are bodies and messed up controls Kurama looks at Shishi.


Kurama- You said you were confused by what you were reading.. Can you explain?

Shishi- Umm, well...

Kuwabara- The residual I'm getting feels like.. you, Kurama...


* Touya, Shishi, and Suzuka look at Kuwabara who is looking all around the ruined room.


Kuwabara- In your other form, that is.

Shishi- Uh, yeah.. Like that.


* Shishi scowls and crosses his arms with a huff. Kurama tilts his head and looks at Suzuka. When the blonde nods Kurama looks around.


Kurama- So.. A Kitsune did this?

Shishi- Oh, he wasn't alone.. But whoever he was.. he did the most damage...


* Kuwabara pushes a turned over console aside when he notices a pair of boots. Kurama hurries over. Suzuka nudges Shishi with a shoulder.


Suzuka- (Quietly) He's on our side. Let it ride, buddy.

Kurama- It's not Hiei.

Touya- No.. That's Lt. Duoso.. Or what's left of him... He was General Kirin's right hand man.

Kuwabara- He looks like a giant... nose...

Kurama- He was a giant nose.


* Kuwabara makes a face as he stands and wipes his hand on his trenchcoat.


Suzuka- This kitsune isn't an S-Class, though.

Shishi- I would place him at high A, though... But like I said, he wasn't alone.

Kurama- Okay. Touya, Suze, see if you can salvedge any communication.. I don't think we should stay around here very long.


* Kuwabara looks around again as Touya and Suzuka move to the damaged consoles. Kurama bends to look closer at Duoso.


Kurama- This one was taken out by a sword.. brutally...

Kuwabara- A sword like that one?


* Kuwabara motions toward a near wall. He, Kurama, and Shishi hurry over to look at it closer.


Kuwabara- Hey, that looks like Hiei's sword..


* When Kuwabara reaches out Shishi smacks his hand away.


Shishi- Enough with you, human.. This is mine.


* Shishi lays his hand on the sword's hilt. Kurama shrugs with a slight smile at Kuwabara.


Shishi- Yes. It is Hiei's.. It is the one that killed Duoso.. But not by Hiei's hand... I don't recognize the overlapping aura.

Kurama- So they wanted it to look like Hiei did this to whoever came to investigate it.

Kuwabara- Kurama, Hiei would never leave his sword behind. We both know that.

Kurama- Yes.


* Shishi looks at the pair who look at each other sullenly.


Shishi- I doubt if he's dead, Ku.. Wounded somewhere, maybe, but not dead. It may be that jagan of his that was trying to reach you.

Kuwabara- I agree with Blue-hair here...


* Shishi hisses at Kuwabara. Kurama yanks Hiei's sword out of the wall.


Shishi- My name is Shishiwakamaru, you...

Kurama- Calm down, Shish.


* Kuwabara and Shishi continue staring at each other as Kurama makes his way over to the others.


Kurama- Anything?

Suzuka- We're copying what we can...

Shishi- Ku,...!


* Kurama turns just as they hear a long screech outside that disappears abruptly as another bird demon flies through the portal.


Shishi- That was a C-Class..

Kurama- Chu and Rinku can handle it. But is there anyway to close that gateway?

Touya- Not now.. That console's completely toasted.


* Touya waves toward the blackened, smoking countertop that was laying on top of Duoso.


Kurama- Okay. Get your surveillance copied and let's get back to the Shrine.

Suzuka- Almost done. Luckily, the recording equipment wasn't harmed much.

Touya- It was the Portal control they meant to take out.

Kurama- I wonder if this is the only station that was hit.


* Suzuka and Touya look at Kurama.


Suzuka- You thinkin' somebody's planning an invasion?

Kurama- Without King Enki's approval, no doubt.


* Touya looks down at Hiei's sword as Suzuka removes the DVD he'd just burned.


Kurama- It's staying with me until I can return it to it's rightful owner.


* Kurama's eyes flash gold a moment.


Kurama- I will get the demon that did this... if he has hurt my friend.


* Suzuka shows Kurama the DVD.


Suzuka- Got what I could.

Kurama- Okay. Let's go, everyone.


* As they leave the building Kurama uses his plant skills to form a green sheath out of some vines, then hangs the sheath on the sash around his waist.
